From Hyde Park bungalows to waterfront estates in Davis Islands, the demand for a shaded, stylish outdoor escape keeps rising. A custom trellis delivers that perfect mix of curb appeal and year-round functionality—but only when it is designed for Florida’s coastal climate and built with uncompromising craftsmanship. CountBricks pairs AI precision with on-site expertise to make every trellis Tampa homeowners imagine a reality.
• Salt-laden air accelerates corrosion on metal fasteners
• Intense UV rays can bleach and crack untreated lumber
• Hurricane-grade wind uplift requirements mandate reinforced anchoring

Cedar or Cypress?
Native cypress resists moisture and pests, while Western Red Cedar intensifies that coastal aroma homeowners love. CountBricks runs lifecycle cost comparisons so you can pick the right balance of budget and longevity.
Integrated Lighting
Low-voltage LED strips recessed into rafters provide soft ambiance without attracting insects—perfect for Bayshore Boulevard sunsets. Our AI estimate auto-adds weather-proof transformers and conduit.

• Select stainless or hot-dipped galvanized hardware. Tampa’s coastal breezes carry salt that can corrode plain zinc in under a year.
• Angle rafters at 45 degrees south-to-north to provide optimal afternoon shade without blocking winter sun.
• Add a hidden drip-irrigation line at installation. Vines establish faster and you avoid retrofitting later.
• Choose water-based stains with UV inhibitors; they penetrate deeper than oil-based products in humid climates.
• Install smart switches for lighting. CountBricks integrates Wi-Fi controls so homeowners can dim pergola LEDs from the beach.

The AI estimator updated footing costs in real time, keeping the project $600 under budget.
